This episode doesn't air until next Friday.
It's a pretty cool movie if you're all about the action sequences, quiet-kid-turned-capoeira-slayer, matching outfits, and SLJ.
it's all about style over substance and if that's something that rocks your boat. then let it.
Great!I like it very much!
The most I have smiled in any Marvel movie. So many things to grin stupidly about.
Mr. Robot + Dexter + Fifty shades of grey
NoHo Hank...best character. Hope he gets a bigger role if there is another season. He’s awesome on Gotham as well.
Loved every episode through time so my thing hope to see more too and the final was full of emotional action packed amazing acting Well Done to all the cast and crew from Years And Years.
This is a fun hilarious family reunion Film and definitely deserves a series
This film featured Alan played by the hilarious Marlon Wayans where he wants to find out where he comes from and his family then he finds out that he has five other sibling and they are Sextuplets. Lovely to see a family come together even though I would have prefer this as a TV Series rather than a movie and I definitely recommend you watching it.
This Movie Is Amazing The little Girl Is Funny :) I loved it when the woman with the straighten hair slapped her butt xD
So, I haven't read the manga or seen the original anime, so I can't compare as far as accuracy goes. As far as just a movie, it was pretty good. The main thing it had going for it was the action. There was plenty of action and it was good. The romance wasn't wholly believable and the ending wasn't as good as I was hoping for, but they seemed to be setting it up for a sequel rather than going for a satisfying ending. I was surprised that for a Japanese anime, none of the cast was asian. They do explain that people from all over the world migrated there so its at least explainable, but most of the main cast is still white. And I don't say this to be political or nitpicky, but it does lack some of the accuracy and authenticity of other manga adaptations that I have seen.
This film was so Extraordinary loved all the amazing CGI Battles and it was so emotional too seeing Alita making friends, learning about true emotional love, family and loosing people too. also learning about her past where she came from too. If you have a spare 2 hours 2 minutes I highly recommend you watching it as you will not be disappointed.
Just finished Binge watching it in a day so amazing the best season yet been emotional. Loved the new spin to the show and over 81 Swear words later really makes the show more authentic instead of just saying Damn all of the time. Here's to Season 4 and ten episodes really works. Plus my favourite scene out of Designated Survivor Season 3 is episode one where Tom Kirkman talks to his daughter Penny and say I did not talk to you about me running again for president and Penny Kirkman responds well it is kinda shitty. What a hilarious way to kick off season 3.
This is an amazing emotional movie for all of you romantics out there like you and me are going to love this beautiful constructed romantic comedy. The main characters Griffin & Phoebe played by KJ Apa and Maia Mitchell was so phenomenal acting you really believed that the characters were falling emotionally in love not just based of physical attraction, which all relationships should be focused on emotional attractions and interests as at the end of the day that is the main personality trait when being together in a romantic relationship with someone you have to focus on before you let your guard down. The other story lines added more comedy onto this romcom really showing how everyone should be respectful to each other no matter what I just wished they were given more background screen time in the film. I like that the fact that we had a female writer for this film on the writing staff added more exciting heart into this film especially when dealing with sex and showing that you should always ask for consent no matter who you are and it should be a beautiful act and such a romantic act to do, which KJ APA and Maia Mitchell really came across in there sex scene that had a lot of romance in it rather than just plane boring old unromantic sex like a lot of movies and TV Shows do. That is so not how relationships should be as it should focus a lot more on the characters interests and they move slowly before having sex that is completely fine and how most stable relationships go nowadays, which I thought was the beautiful thing about this movie and having there ups and downs to so it is not too perfect like a real relationship. Like I said that is how relationships work out better in the end a lot of emotional connection with some beautiful sex along the way, which is so important for an extra physical connection with your emotional romantic connection only if you are both fully consenting and you both are ready to do so no rush and it adds better physical bonding to your relationship. Sharing interests and hobbies together and also having arguments which is so healthy for a good loving emotional relationship to last as it gets everything out in the air and you are a lot more likely to stay together. I just wish that this movie focused more on the main characters and give them significantly more screen time, but other than that it is such a refreshing romantic romcom I have seen in a long time a ten out of ten Well Done to the main characters Griffin & Phoebe played by these amazing actors KJ Apa and Maia Mitchell who really made this romantic comedy really come to life. I hope to see more real true romantic films like this instead of just focusing on teen sex, which is so confusing for young teens nowadays as films should really show how you should lead you relationships with emotional connection first before physical attraction that should come much later in the relationship. as the personality and interests really do count before anything of a sexual nature that I really hoped people have told me that more as I was growing up as it would be so much less confusing for young teens like myself.
Just watched Avengers Endgame at the cinema and OH anyone who is watching this is in for a real three hour treat, which has lots of twists and turns along the way. All I will say about this movie is this is the Endgame that you will never predict any fan theories fly out the window as you are going to get properly mind blown as it would be one of the last endings that you would expect. If you thought Infinity War had you scratching your heads full of theories, well endgame just blows out the window and who knows what will happen next. All I say is I would definitely recommend watching this awesome movie as there will be funny parts and a lot of emotionally challenging scenes and a lot of action like the typical Marvel Movies we know and love, nevertheless you will find that you will not be disappointed I definitely recommend watching it as there will be many more MCU Movies to come to explain the aftermath of this movie. I cannot wait to see more Marvel Movies as I am so impressed on how the screen play writers has constructed this incredible universe of stories and how well it has been portrayed by the incredible very hugely talented actors in this film by new actors and returning actors alike they have all done a brilliant job Well Done And Congratulations. :scream::scream::scream::scream::sob::sob::sob::sob::cowboy::cowboy::grinning::thumbsup::heart::heart::green_heart::green_heart::thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking::star_struck::star_struck::confetti_ball::confetti_ball::tada::tada:
I've had an amazing experience watching the movie premiere in Venice, I've been waiting for this movie for a long time and I was not disappointed in the slightest.
It's a gorgeous movie, it's disturbing but moving at the same time, violent at times, but also subtle. It's a different and fresh spin on the character and on the cinecomic genre as a whole and Phoenix delivers an amazing performance portraying a version of the Joker we've never seen before, he's not the villain of someone else's story, he is the hero and villain of HIS own story, and the audience can be orrified by him, but we can't help but feel for him at times.
Without giving anything away I would recommend to go and see the movie not expecting to go and see an action packed, but gritty cinecomic, I suggest going in and watch it pretending that it's not even about a famous comic villain, but simply a movie, I think that people will appreciate it more in that way, not comparing it to the cinecomics we've seen before, but thinking of it as a normal movie.
P.S.: People will of course compare Phoenix to Ledger, I don't think it's possible, they give a totally different percormance because they portray totally different versions of the character, and I think it's going to be hard to compare them, you either prefere Ledger's version or Phoenix's but only based on the character, the actor's performances cannot be judged by comparison, they're both great. Just enjoy the movie
Not only is Endgame the most ambitious movie Marvel has made, but it also is the grandest. Even more so than Infinity War. No other movie can utilise the emotional ties that have been embedded within our hearts over the build of 11 years. And boy does it use them well. Stringing together scene after scene of nothing but impactful tension in the third act. But this doesn't leave the other two boring or bland. It allows these parts to build off of the aftermath of Infinity War. Never once was I bored, or felt like I was sitting there for three hours. For the action is no letdown, lovely dynamics are interwoven for a fantastic spectacle.
I don't want to say much, but it is hands down the best Marvel can offer. It is not Infinity War, Part II. It's something much better, the true culmination of everything and I do mean everything. The fan service here is through the roof and done so damn creatively. Not one thing feels hammered into the story. Even some major elements in its plot stem from the smallest details of previous movies I would have never seen coming. Taking even lesser liked fragments and stringing them into a more meaningful poetic story than the original movie would have ever told.
Using style and grace to tell this bold epic is strong with this movie. Gone are the golds and purples of Infinity War. And in comes a bleak atmosphere with hope lingering yet far. Visual storytelling is a bit lacking, but that is not what you come here to expect. You have been supported with all the exposition you need in previous movies. Since this is the case, it must be judged as a singular part of a series.
The themes in this movie are unity, utilisation, and more importantly; revelation. Kevin Feige has given this movie a lot to work with through these themes and has finally made his magnum opus.
Yes, there are a few hiccups. But that's to be expected. Captain Marvel was not given her full potential again sadly. But worked well with what was given. There is an amazing moment within the third act that truly gives her and a certain cast of characters time to shine. Plus the time it takes to leave out is a bit jarring. Not to mention, that to me Thanos seemed less threatening than in Infinity War because of something that happens. Still great impact by Josh Brolin of course.
Everyone will cry. Everyone will laugh. Everyone will leave sad yet satisfied with this amazing conclusion to the MCU so far. It's no Dark Knight, but then again, that was more drama than superhero epic. But this is modern hero gold. Here is the Holy Grail of superhero cinema.
9.6/10
8/10 After second viewing - Hype obviously had its hands around my neck I admit. Review doesn't meet my current thoughts about the film

Great Spiderman movie and Tom Holland is a perfect fit for Peter Parker. Hearing the score as the movie began got my blood tingling, loved the remix.
Action packed and well done story with Michael Keaton as a fantastic villain to the friendly neighborhood Spiderman. And a great addition to the Avengers.
The series could end here and it would be a perfect end (but boy do i hope its not) because this season was phenomenal and by far the best one yet.
When Jim died by heart broke but the post credit scene has given me some hope, because there's no way they can take the only real parent she's ever had away right??!
Okay so walking into the theater I wasn't exactly expecting much however wow I was blown away complete must see
i was very pleasantly surprised with this. i tend to be wary about book adaptations, but this is one of the rare exceptions where i'll say that, in my opinion, the adaptation has an edge over the book. yes, there are changes from the book, as with all book-to-film or book-to-tv adaptations, but i believe that, in this case, almost every change benefited the story. the characters are what really stand out in this. as i recall from the book, some of the characters felt a bit one dimensional to me, or were at least looked at in a more or less black/white light, mainly due to understandable time constraints within the novel. a thirteen episode series really lets them shine. the characters are more developed and viewable in a more morally grey light, which really makes you feel for (most) of them. and i personally feel these characters are what make "13 reasons why" stand out from the typical teen drama. netflix continues to be one of the (if not THE) best platforms for entertainment out there.
Charlize Theron and Seth Rogan oddly have really good chemistry in this movie. I love both of them for many reasons and this defintely isn't a normal role for Charlize if ya ask me but she pulled it off with little effort it seemed. Great uplifting overall story too. Probably the best rom-com if not straight comedy I've seen in a while. Defintely the funniest Seth Rogan has been in a few years.
"Baggage", can be a GOOD thing when yours makes it on time across the pond with you on your flight from London, especially if it's first out of the chute and onto the pick up carousel. But, it's NOT such a good thing if one carries quantities of the negative kind into a new relationship, be it an IRL relationship, or, in THIS case, the relationship between a viewer and a filmmaker.
It was to be expected then, when, Anime fans and enthusiasts expressed trepidation after the trailer for "Alita: Battle Angel" dropped. They can all still recall the cringe-fest that was M. Night Shyamalan's, "The Last Airbender", which IMO was DOA from the moment it was cast, and, don't get them started on "Dragonball Z", lest you want a wall of text recounting it's cornucopia of cinema sins.
Now, I'm not here to go down the rabbit hole that is often expressed in the current virtue signaling trend of "whitewashing" outrage. We're not talking about the bad old days practice of Black or Yellow face, where obviously Caucasian actors were darkened or "Orientaled" up to play faux versions of the real deal, nor of instances where it is done for comedic irony, as in Robert Downey Jr's, "Tropic of Thunder' performance, nor, the Waynan's Brothers in "White Chicks". However I DO find it interesting that no one seems outraged in those two instances, or, that the same folks who express shock and dismay at ScarJo's casting as the titular "Ghost in the Shell", ALSO express outrage at those who expressed outrage, at the idea of casting Idris Elba as James Bond. Seems like there's no pleasing some folks.

But I digress....
My point is, that we, as consumers of visual media, often let ourselves be influenced by the BAGGAGE we carry with us, when watching a film or show. Our expectations, based on PRIOR experiences, can subtly, or even greatly influence our enjoyment of a given offering. I have to wonder how die hard Trekkies would react to STDISCO, if they had NEVER seen Star Trek ANYTHING before? I myself can recall dismissing Wild Wild West, the movie, as soon as I saw Will Smith was cast in the lead, because for me Robert Conrad would always be the personification of James West. Yet, I had the opposite reaction to seeing Denzel Washington cast in the lead of either the Equalizer, or The Magnificent Seven, perhaps because lack of familiarity had not left me ingrained as to who these characters were. (Both great movies IMO by the way) Or perhaps it is just the power of the Denzel. And, even with all the "outrage" over the casting of "Ghost in the Shell", I still enjoyed the movie overall, although it fell down in a few places. Again I was unfamiliar with the source material.
Unlike the disappointing experience with "The Last Airbender", which I went into being a FAN of the Nickelodeon series as well as "The Legend of Korra", I was completely without opinion concerning Alita: Battle Angel. What I DID know was, that it was produced by James Cameron, who doesn't put his name on stinkers, and was directed by Robert Rodriguez, whom I have liked since El Mariachi. BOTH know how to deliver epic, believable worlds and characters, so I put my faith in that, and went in unbiased, with no expectations either way.
And I am SO very GLAD I did!!!
I saw the movie in IMAX / 3D, and, while SOME movies / Directors throw obvious, rather lame 3D effects to boost a lame, insipid storyline, or, OVER use it to the point of distraction, here, they found the perfect balance, with the 3D adding an immersive depth to the already impressive "26% more IMAX picture". If you watch the trailers, you can pretty much figure out which scenes really WOW in this format.
To address the elephant in the room, yes, Alita's eyes DO remind one of a cross between a high tech sex doll (not that I would know) and Margaret Keane's "Big Eyes" waifs. (Cristoph Waltz was in that one too) Yet, here, you quickly become so immersed in the story that you no longer notice. The story begins with Waltz's Dr. Ido discovering Alita's discarded torso in a dump, while he is scavenging for parts to fix up the neighborhood cyborgs, which are plentiful, and not trying to assimilate anyone. Apparently in THIS world, if a body part breaks, gets diseased, or hijacked (yes I said hijacked) it can be replaced, much like a crumpled bumper in a fender bender. Dr. Ido just happens to have a teenager sized cyborg body handy which is explained later in the film, and, a little JB Weld here, and a couple of stitches there and Bobs your Uncle, .. instant Teenage Mutant Ninja Angel...., (sorry) Alita awakens, but has no memory, and, as many teenagers are, is all questions, curiosity, and hormones, all at once, especially when she meets the "polite, hard working", and, all around handy guy Hugo, who IS teenage, but NOT mutant.
A visit from Ido's Ex, Chiren, gives us some (slightly disturbing) back-story and we meet her boss, Vector, played by Mahershala Ali, once again being chauffeured around by Viggo Mortensen, (just kidding) but who IS apparently a big deal, with connections to the sky city of Zalem, which floats above them, and is "the place were the cool hang out, the SWASS like to play, and the rich flaunt clout!" This is where everyone wants to someday go, "by any means necessary", yet Dr. Ido and his ex were apparently exiled from there, no backstory given.
Thrown in are a nice mix of teenage discovery and bonding, combat sports, bounty hunters, robot dogs, robot bounty hunters, set piece fight scenes, featuring robot dogs and bounty hunters of the meat and robot varieties, vivisection, nanobots, betrayal, heartbreak, and general cinematographic carnage....., and just when it was getting REALLY good, the credits ran, and NO ONE MOVED, hoping for one more glimpse of this world, or a Marvel Comics style peek at what is to (hopefully) come.
When I got home, I immediately looked up Alita, both the Anime and the Manga, and found a 2 part 1990's era Anime, which the movie, with a few minor changes and liberties, seems to have followed almost shot for shot in places. So, Kudos for at least partially following the source material, even if changes were made to make a coherent, box office ready story.
Was it perfect for those with the baggage of their own expectations? That's up to them to decide. Did I find it to be an entertaining movie that allowed me to suspend disbelief and immerse myself in Alita's dystopian hive of scum and villainy, and root for her to be victorious in the end? Yes sir!! So, May we have another??? PLEEASE????
Wow, just wow. The same time it's disturbing, it's amazing. To think someone can actually do something like that amazes me. How far would you go?
Definitely Emmy and/or Golden Globes material, for the story, the perfect acting and even for the discreet but good musical score.
This was definitely more for Godzilla fans than it was for critics. It was way better than the 2014 film that got Certified Fresh. The film is just badass. Not perfect but....bad ass.
They do over-do the family drama again though. Especially when the family drama makes no sense. Mark Russel (Kyle Chandler) blames Godzilla for the death of his son. He wants all monsters dead.
Mark’s wife Emma (Vera Farmiga) says screw mankind. The monsters will cure the planet of Climate Change. So yeah in another words who cares if anyone else loses family members. Due to her plan to unleash all monsters.
Her daughter Madison (Millie Bobbie Brown) sticks with her. Despite her mom teaming with some bad men with guns. Who kill some nice scientists right in front of her. So yeah, Mark is the sanest one in that family.
Even if there’s too much of the humans and a silly plot. This is the best of the Hollywood Godzilla movies. Critics are just wrong. One even said the Roland Emmerich version is better. What drugs is that critic on ?
The battles are some of the best done of any monster vs monster battle. Unlike the first film this one has a ton of Godzilla history to it. It shows him way more and shows the character great respect.
Started watching Good Girls out of boredom, nothing more than that. However, as I finished episode 1, I continued watching, and after episode 2, I couldn't stop watching, until I binge watched all 10 episodes. And as I have seen them all, I have to admit, I really love this series, and I am really glad to have heard that there will be a second season. It's not truly that original in terms of story, and I don't know how to tell about it without spoiling anything, but it is done in such a way that it keeps you hooked, at least, it did for me.
Thought provoking, great pacing, :heartbeat: Toni Collette & Merritt Wever's chemistry together - MORE please!!
Waiting a week for an episode is excruciating. The series is fast pasing, I´m loving it so far
Yes, the acting was juvenile, the jokes puerile and the swearing youth infantile so obviously I laughed harder than I have at any other movie this year. The movie's ending and the refusal to resort to sexist humour made this film a pleasant surprise. See it with the 15-year-old in you.
